    The “Yes, Dear” House

    ‘ One show that I never really understood the appeal of is Yes, Dear.  My dad loved the sitcom, which ran from 2000 to 2006, and watched it regularly, but I always found the characters slightly unlikable and the storylines a bit ridiculous.  Nevertheless, when I received an email from a fellow stalker named Jeremy…

    Mercedes’ Friend’s House from “License to Drive”

    ‘ The third – and last – License to Drive locale that I stalked while visiting L.A. a couple of weeks ago was the Colonial-style residence where Les Anderson (Corey Haim) dropped off his dream girl, Mercedes Lane (Heather Graham), in the 1988 classic.  I found the abode thanks to Geoff, from 90210Locations, who, as…

    Chabelita Tacos from “Truth or Dare”

    ‘ Roadside taco stands don’t usually conjure up images of the macabre.  Today’s locale is no different.  In fact, the eatery – Chabelita Tacos – is a bright and colorful addition to the Harvard Heights skyline.  But since it did appear in a memorable scene in the 2018 horror flick Truth or Dare, I thought…
